Stephen Hawking Changes View On God

[gamerwiz09]

I didn't even realise that he held a rather agnostic view when it came to God, but apparently he did, and is now saying that new theories make a creator redundant.

Good for him!

Woot! Take that you moronic agnostic bastards!

Oi, that's what I'd vaguely classify myself as. ****

You're agnostic about Santa too, I suppose?

Wow, what a ****ing *******. I never liked you but seriously, you're an ass. That's not even witty, it's just violently dickish. Go contemplate your navel elsewhere, sciencedamned douchebang.

I wouldn't call it 'violently dickish'. But it was very condescending. It did make me smile though.

Same evidence for God as there is for Santa. Santa has a holiday and has never proved his existance. God has a book and has never proved his existance. Thats why agnosticism is silly. I could make something up and people would dismiss me, but if I gathered enough followers, there would be a large agnostic standpoint on it because people don't want to hurt anyones feelings. Agnostics are cowardly fencesitters, really.

Well it appears you can forgo the acquiring of followers step as long as you promise to provide people with answers/presents.

Or tell them they don't have to burn forever.
I think Agnostics are afraid of hell, really....

Oh, look, I've never heard the flying spaghetti monster argument anywhere before. Any other popular  opinion you'd like to endorse as if you understood anything about it? Don't go poking into agnosticism when you don't get what it is

It's pretty confusing, sorry, I don't want to offend anyone, so I'll just tell everyone that they might be right instead of standing up for intelligence or moronity.
You can only choose one, bud.

We would never consider it a serious possibility that a god created the universe if it weren't for religion's hold on us.

Exactly.

 

[kiarj]

Of course, but that's a self-repeating thing. Since everything related to a god is religious, as soon as an higher being enters the equation, religion enters the equation.

We wouldn't think of a triangle as a good basis of architecture without the strong hold of geometry on us, heh?

Edit: Oh, and I'm not offended by your position, but by the fact that you imply so self-rightily that no intelligent being could possibly be agnostic or religious.

Agnosticism basically means you don't know either way, right? Like you don't dismiss any possibility, because none of them have been completely proven or dis-proven. I think the "On the fence" analogy fits decently.

Of course, but that's a self-repeating thing. Since everything related to a god is religious, as soon as an higher being enters the equation, religion enters the equation.

wut?

 

[Evilknightz]

I just have a hate for agnostics/in-the-closet-athiests. If you want to change the world from the Religious wonderland it is, you have to proclaim your beliefs and rub them in those religious bastard's faces. I wouldn't mind people believing in god if it didn't ruin the ****ing world.

Also

wut?

Yeah, that one is tricky to explain, but easy to understand.

Since god=religion, no religion = no god.

Thus, saying that the possibility of god would not exist without the hold of religion is an evidence, not a point.

... I hope I'm clearer this way.

Edit: See, that's the problem. Religion =/= moronic bastards. That pisses me right off. I really hate it when people associate every individual in a set of belief with the extreme morons in it. I can't say this enough:

I personnaly HATE these guys:

And yet so many people puts me in their ****ing shoes.

So you are saying faith is in itself, evidence?
